Meanwhile, Mussburger is upstairs trying to calm the board of directors. Apparently, Hudsucker had no will, which means according to company policy his majority stock share in the company must be put up for sale on the open market within six month's time. This means the company would be open to hostile takeover by whomever can buy the expensive shares. Mussburger hits upon the idea of appointing an idiot as a secret "proxy": [[SpringtimeForHitler someone who can be easily controlled and cause the company's profitability to tank without doing any lasting damage.]] With stock prices depressed because of poor profits, Mussburger and the other members of the board can quickly buy up the shares on the cheap when they go up for sale, and thus maintain control of the company.

Soon enough, [[InadvertentEntranceCue Norville appears at Mussburger's door]], with the letter, but Barnes is so eager to mention his ideas for the company that he never does deliver the letter, and ends up nearly killing Mussburger during their first meeting. Mussburger comes away convinced he's an idiot...but just the right kind of idiot for his needs, and so Barnes is quickly made the new CEO of Hudsucker Industries, with Mussburger's secret plan in action, and Barnes has an idea for a new toy - [[CatchPhrase you know, for kids.]]
